Lisa Elizondo was sworn in as the new SGA director of engagement for the Student Government Association at the Senate meeting on Nov. 3. Elizondo replaced Randy Bowden, who is now serving as executive vice president.

“I want to reach out to all groups,” Elizondo said, “It is our responsibility to reach out to them. People are going to talk on campus, but you must make things relevant to them.”

Elizondo said she is excited to have the opportunity and feels that Bowden did a great job. She will be working with him to follow through with previous plans already in motion.

“I believe Lisa will do a great job as the new director of engagement,” said SGA President Stephen Swinson. “She is an individual who can really leave an impact.”

While in office, Elizondo said there would be opportunities for organizations to speak with her and to ask for certain issues to be resolved.

Present at the meeting were the newest members of the First Year Council, who had their first joint session with the Senate.
